Student Badges

Student Badges

Student Badges can be obtained for programs such as Nursing, Welding, Cosmetology, and more. Ask your Instructor or refer to your program's Student Handbook to see if the following information is relevant to you.

Badges can be obtained from any of the four library branch locations.

Please bring documentation that shows your Student Identification Number as well as your current enrollment in the program.

Coastal Bend College assigns you a Student ID number when you apply. It is printed on your Registration Statement when you enroll. You can also access your Student ID number by visiting an advisor or any full-time staff member. Please have some sort of valid ID before inquiring.

Cougar ID Login and Password for Faculty and Staff

Faculty and staff will log in with their EMAIL user name and password. This is set up for you as a new employee. Please contact Erica Castillo at the Help Desk for assistance (361.354.2522). If you are adjunct faculty, then you must ask your division chair to request a college email account for you from Computer Services. When you are working on campus, you may also use the On Campus Access links.
